Review
...Ireneusz Adam Slupkov's book is an objective account of the
tragic fate of Aegean Macedonia. Slupkov used all the
scientific literature on policy of the CPG towards the
Macedonian question. The author objectively assesses the
policy of the CPG in the years 1918-1940. --Professor Kole
Simiczijew, University of Wroclaw, Poland
Review
...What this book essentially offers us is a clear and concise
after-the-fact account of the decisive role of the Communist
Party of Greece in the tragic fate of the Macedonian people in
the first half of the 20th century in Aegean Macedonia.
--Professor Michael Seraphinoff, Macedonian Studies, Cardiff,
Wales, UK
Review
..At different periods the 'Macedonian Question' has been at
the heart of the Balkan politics. Ever since the partition of
Macedonia in the Balkan Wars 1912/1913, Athens and Sofia, and
Belgrade untill the Second World War have employed
chauvinistic policies to prevent the development and
nourishment of a Macedonian national sentiment. What is
particularly repugnant in this context is that this long
lasting process has been by and large ignored by the
international academic community. This book tries to fill in
this gap by thoroughly treating the attitude of the Greek
Communist Party concerning the rights and the demands of the
Macedonians of what is known as Aegean Macedonia (Northern
Greece). It is both an excellent analysis of a specific case
study and a powerful tool for further thinking by social
scientists dealing with the "problem" of nationalism. The
author has been able to critically assess the historical
circumstances in which the Macedonians have worked on
achieving autonomous rights in the Kingdom of Greece.
--Professor Zhidas Daskalovski, University of Cyril and
Methodius, Macedonia
